After Action Report
The Raptors fended off the Celtics 123-117. The Raptors got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Shots just aren't falling for the Raptors lately; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
